The damape done, by rats is almost Incredible. It is calculated that their ravages cost Great Iiritain something more than 250 million dollar , a year.

One rat will consume fifty pounds of train in a year.

Taking these two facts together, the prices fetched by cat furs and the animal's usefulness as a detrover of vermin., it becomes apparent that cat breeding en a larire sralo could easily be made very profitable as profitable as rearing cattle for their beef or sheep for their wool.

(From the Ohio State Journal.) Foreign buyers are taking enormous quantities of American bituminous coal and paying prices never before nnotet. In the coal

trade. They want all that can be moved arrots the ocean and do not hesitate to Lid prices up asralnst local buyers. These foreiqn buyers ar" not without skill. Mines that supply coal for export are making no complaint of car shortage. When coal sells at from $10 to $15 per ton at the mine there are cars waiting and the railways are able to move It to the sboard. Miners pt full time and there Is no interruption to the flow of war sale profits to the mine owne 1 s. Columbus coal dealers speak of mins in West Virginia that have contracted their output at $10. There are rumors that a mine with a great reputation for its coal

has contracted the output for export at 5 20 per ton. Columbus dealers and home owners who want that coal ' have a price of $5. 75 ejuoted, but all they get is the quotation. The coal is not corning to Columbus. Granville Mr.oney, of Ashtabula county, formerly speaker of th" house of representatives, sought to

get coal for his neighbors from a West Virginia mine and says he

met with a quotation c-f from $12: to $13 per ton at the mine. That: would make the coal worth around ! $1S at his town. His town has not j had a car of coal for sale fdnce early spring. j People want coal, the mines are j filled with it, but it is not coming j out; tho bins are empty and th" j summer Is half gen". Part of the coal trad" has gone made over op- I portunlties for special profit .and ! has turned Its back to home needs. I There is need of some power, potent to control, and employed fori the protection of the public. It

should be applied now, not next winter.
